Skincare Skincare Skincare!

 

 

I had to take a moment to rant about my new skincare products! Ole Henriksen's "walnut complexion scrub". I've been using this for a few weeks now and it literally makes my skin feel like butter!!!!

My old skincare regimen consisted only of unscented Dove soap. (The ONLY soap I use.) Cleansers always seemed to bring on breakouts. Only issue is, soap tends to make my already dry skin more dry.

My new skincare regimen consists of washing my face with Clinique's mild cleansing facial soap which is "supposed to be" used as a 3 step process. But, being the little rebel that I am, I opt to only use the cleanser. I probably only use this every other day but especially on days when I wear makeup. I don't want to completely freak my skin out! However, I do use this cleanser before I use the scrub just to make sure I have a clean face. Now on to the exfoliating scrub.....

The smell is absolutely amazing. I use this ONCE weekly on a clean face. I cleanse my face first so that I can exfoliate the actual skin and not the makeup and dirt that's left on the skin after a long work day. It leaves your skin feeling so soft afterwards without the dryness you get with some cleansers. I've also found that my foundation goes on so much smoother afterwards. You can purchase this at Sephora. And a little really does go a long way! I'm looking forward to trying other products by Ole Henriksen.

New product!

 

I am in LOVE with these concealers!!! They are LA Girl Pro Conceal. I first heard about them on instagram and there are tons of youtube videos about them.  Some of the youtube gurus even compare them to MAC's pro longwear.  I used MAc's pro longwear some time ago before I even knew what to do with it so I can't really compare the two. 

 

So, the shades I purchased are toast, beautiful bronze, espresso, and chestnut.  I've only used toast and it's perfect to use under my brows and to cover any blemishes.  Its seems to match my skin tone very well. I have not tried any of the other shades yet but what I can say is all the other shades mentioned above appear to be darker than toast. Although, they do look the same in the pic above, they are significantly different.  I will be ordering a few more of the lighter shades to use for a highlight.

Also these can be used for a foundation and appear to be full coverage or "buildable." One tip about these concealers, they tend to dry fairly quickly so if you're using them under your eyes, only do one eye at a time so that you can begin blending right away. Or it WILL dry! They don't seem to be very moisturizing so I probably will not be using them as foundation but who knows it wont hurt to try it out.

 

I purchased these from ikatehouse for $1.99 each. The shipping was $3.95 and is fairly quick.  I ordered on a Sunday and received my package on a Thursday. 

 

Needless to say, my final thoughts on this product is I love it and would totally recommend to a friend.
